AN INITIATIVE BY 'BUILT LIKE ME OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST'
 
Small moments matter —
Small things that make us smile, the little things that make us feel connected, calm, and part of something bigger.

That’s why #WinterGlimmers is happening from June 21.
Pop up some fairy lights, step outside, and share a tiny spark of joy with your neighbourhood.

Don’t forget to tag @builtlikemeot so your glimmer shines with the rest ✨
